Titanium dioxide and zinc oxide are both PHYSICAL sunscreens to my knowledge.<br /><br />PatK<br /><br />My response: Thanks Pat for the great feedback and something that may also be confusing to others. Though you are correct that Titanium dioxide and Zinc Oxide are physical sunblockers and are minerals, something which I stated within the same comment, they are still inorganic chemical compounds with chemical properties depending on the application. Raw TD and ZO typically are used to create the chemical formulas of Ti02 and Zno. Furthermore, since TD and ZO can't be used directly from the ground in its raw mineral form, they do go through a synthetic chemical process to purify the chemical compounds you find in mineral makeup today. Plus this is a sunscreen loaded with many other synthetic chemicals so technically it is a chemical sunscreen utilizing physical blockers, it just depends on the interpretation of my comment. But you make a valid point and it definitely deserved clarification for others since I could see it can be confusing by the way I worded it.<br /><br />Thank you Pat for sharing!Katherine@SterlingMineralshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09487912837691962695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533359987449375283.post-85345199771611785862011-06-09T11:38:10.513-06:002011-06-09T11:38:10.513-06:00You can call it makeup dM, but I would place this ...You can call it makeup dM, but I would place this in the category of more of a tinted sunscreen rather than a true foundation since coverage is very limited as described by many women who tried it.Katherine@SterlingMineralshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09487912837691962695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7533359987449375283.post-91582194688322733492011-06-09T10:56:29.279-06:002011-06-09T10:56:29.279-06:00You mean it's not makeup at all?

If not, it sounds like it could be misleading. Thank you for doing the research and deductive reasoning here!dMhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04592498313719829531noreply@blogger.com
